Here is a pic of the other side of the bench. we still wanted some 'normal' drawers so kept them in the middle and pot drawers on either side. The top two pot drawers are slightly smaller than the others, for keeping coffee/tea making stuff, mugs and other smaller things in.

And does Nova Aurora come in sparkly and non sparkly?? I like that it a light tan colour, does it change going from day to night?

Nova Aurora is the sparkly one; I think there is one similar without the sparkles, but it would be called something else. (Maybe Ice Snow??)

I don't think it changes all that much; you can see from the photos the first ones were taken at night but with lots of artificial light and the last one was taken in daylight. In either sunlight or artificial light the sparkles show up nicely!

This is my new kitchen. There is breakfast bar to the right and a couple of bar stools which I haven't photographed yet.

That looks great, all very close to what I had planned doing myself! My floor tiles will be a bit more grey and then either snow or haze ceasarstone benches with some sort of metallic silver glass splashback.

They are lovely kitchens, simple and classy. Would you believe they are putting mine in next week apparently so. I think I feel sick, did anyone feel sick about their kitchen being installed I think it's a bit of excitement mixed in...lol

Please keep the kitchen photo's coming!! I'm loving seeing the different colours that people are using.

I am going to look at colours this weekend - it's so exciting and nerve wracking at the same time, I'm not that great with colour selections and I am terrified I will stuff it up - I want to get light but earthy tones

I also agree on the pot drawers being a must. I have some where I am renting and they are great for cups and mugs

SuH - you will be fine. How exciting that in the middle of all your turmoil something substantial is happening in your new home. Can't wait for photos!!

I have just worked out a way but I am no expert....
I upload photographs onto photobucket.com (it is easy to follow their steps)
Then under the first photo you upload it says 'link options' in blue writing. I select this and click on IMG for bulletin boards and forums. I then save that setting.

Next I open up the forum and start the post. I then copy the IMG code under the picture in photobucket and paste it in the post. When you submit it, it brings the picture up.
